Triceratops: How Fossil Discoveries Changed Our View of the Dinosaur
How did Triceratops go from being mistaken for a mammal to becoming one of the world’s most recognizable dinosaurs? Explore the fossil discoveries, skeletal reconstructions, and artwork that transformed our understanding of this prehistoric animal.
Trace the history of Triceratops through early scientific discoveries, changing ideas about its posture, and portrayals in Fantasia, The Land Before Time, Jurassic Park, and Walking with Dinosaurs. Discover what skin impressions, horn injuries, and the Torosaurus debate reveal about its appearance, behavior, and growth.
Plus, hear the story of Danielle’s own Triceratops fossil discovery, “Dio.”
